      Tokyo Dye Craft Museum tour
      I was pleased to find a cultural activity in the Shinjuku area for day I had free before a three week tour. The Dyeing museum was excellent. It was easy to meet the local guide and walk with him to the museum. I enjoyed dyeing a tote bag and then touring the small factory to see traditional dyeing techniques for kimono fabrics. I would recommend this tour highly.

      Almost Private Tour
      Many thanks for the tour even when so I was the only participant. I’d like the intro to Japanese religion and how to behave on shrines and temples.

      Terry showed me all sides of Shinjuku
      This was an excellent tour with Terry, such a nice and personable fellow. He was open to whatever I wanted to do and had so much love for his people and country, great information about Shintoism and we had a lot of fun and laughs. I highly recommend Terry if you want a solo tour on your own terms.

      Hidden spots!
      My tour guide Yoko was great. I had been in this area before but I was shown parts I had never seen and learned a lot about the history and culture of the area.

      Fast paced red light district tour of Shinjuku
      The tour was very fast paced and we saw a lot of things on the tour, which was good. Terry was a very informative guide. I don’t think I realized this was a red light district tour, however, and he walked so fast that some of us had trouble keeping up. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to families or people who can’t walk quickly. Also, I was kind of surprised he wanted videos of us at the end of the tour.

      Best neighborhood tour
      Amazing alternative tour which offered great insight into Shinjuku area. Terry showed us so many things that we wouldn’t have spotted without him; telling us about the local dating scene, what life is like for young people in Japan, and showing us great bars to visit. His fun and funny personality made us wish he was our guide for all of our Japan trip! This was a definite highlight of our weekend in Tokyo & I would highly recommend.

      Memorable evening at Shinjuku
      Fun and exciting walking adventure around Shinjuku full of fun and memorable moments. Terry is real nice person full of knowledge and energy. He is kind, helpful and knows the area well. He is able to share the culture and the people that make this area come alive at night.

      Cancelled on us without advance notice
      They cancelled my tour without telling me in advance. My husband and I showed up 10 minutes early. Then we waited an additional 20 minutes past the scheduled time as a courtesy while I figured out how to contact them directly through the Trip Advisor website. They wrote back right away that the tour should have been cancelled and sent a refund. I'm glad it was resolved quickly, but we still ended up wasting the evening. Had I known even a couple of hours in advance that they were going to cancel, I could have planned a different activity or tour. Very disappointed.

      Fun, informative and the right length
      Fun, informative and just the right length We enjoyed this 1 hr walking tour of the shinjuku neighbourhood. We took the tour around 5 as it is sooo hot during the day and it was a good time as bars and restaurants were starting to open. Although it only covered a small area there was a lot more to learn that we had thought. Well worth an hour and made walking around in the evening more enjoyable

      Very Informational!
      Our guide was very knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of insider tidbits to enjoy Shinjuku. We would have missed a lot of local treasures if we didn't book this tour.

      Great value for the money.
      Terry was fantastic. He was funny and knowledgeable. Even though the tour was only an hour long, I have learned more about Shinguku than I can on my own for two days. We took Terry’s advice about restaurants and hang out spots and they were excellent. Highly recommended.

      Night life of Shinjuku - the hidden gems
      I had an amazing experience exploring Shinjuku with Hiroshi! His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he effortlessly showed me the best local restaurants, scenic spots, and even gave insights into the fascinating red light district. Hiroshi's friendly demeanor and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. Felt like I didn’t miss any hidden gems. The food recommendations were spot-on. I highly recommend Hiroshi as a guide for anyone looking to discover the vibrant essence of Shinjuku.

    Overall great experience! A well planned excursion with a local guide that took me to many spots around Shinjuku I had not experienced yet during my several days in Tokyo. Bring comfortable shoes, you’ll cover some ground from rooftop gardens, to multi floor luxury department stores and then underground mazes below Shinjuku station with opportunities to shop or just people watch. History, culture, entertainment and calorie burning, a great mix!
    My guide spoke English well, was great company and I really enjoyed the end of the tour as we landed in a small yakitori in Omoide Yokucho for a bit of amazing local skewers and beers and great conversation!

    Thank you for choosing our tour. Hopefully, you become a master of Shinjuku a little bit. You often come to Shinjuku right? Next time, you can try to find a new landscape in Shinjuku by yourself. Enjoy Tokyo Best regards Terry
